16—The Daily Collegian Monday, Nov. 3, 1980 Parties challenge Reagan, Carter tickets By LYNDA ROBINSON Daily Collegian Staff Writer Four names that are only vaguely familiar to most voters will appear on the presidential ballot tomorrow. The Citizen’s Party, Libertarian Party, Socialist Workers Party and Communist Party are all challenging the two-party orientation of American politics by offering alternative presidential candidates. Citizen’s Party presidential candidate Barry Com moner is a renowned ecologist and author of several books on the environment. He is probably the most well-known alternative nominee other than indepen dent candidate John B. Anderson, although Com moner has never run for political office before. During a campaign stop at the University two weeks ago, Commoner told a group of about 650 students that his campaign is addressing the issue of corporate control of the country. Corporate decision-making is based on maximiz ing profits, Commoner says.

To combat inflation and unemployment, Com moner .says he favors temporary price controls on food, fuel, housing and health care along with limita tions on the ability of corporations to close factories. Commoner also calls for a severe cutback in infla tionary defense spending and an end to U.S. arms sales abroad. In an interview with The Daily Collegian, Com moner said he does not want to be president his reason for running for the presidency is to establish the Citizen’s Party as a major force in U.S. politics. The Citizen’s Party will consider Commoner’s campaign a success if he receives at least 5 percent of the popular vote. This will quality the party for federal funds to pay for Commoner’s campaign and provide funds for future campaigns in 1982 and 1984. The Citizen’s Party was formed less than a year ago. The Libertarian Party, on the other hand, is eight years old. Its presidential candidate this year is Edward Clark. ty is being built by people committed to a long-term struggle. Socialist Workers Party candidate Linda Mohrbacher is running her campaign to popularize a program that will defend the interests of the working class. During a campaign speech on campus, Mohrbacher condemned the “profits-before-people” policy of the Democrats and Republicans, which she says produces incidents such as the Love Canal, Three Mile Island and Vietnam. Mohrbacher favors a reduction in defense spen ding and the use of federal funds to create jobs in stead of nuclear weapons. She supports shortening the work week to 30 hours without any reduction in pay in order to create employment. Mohrbacher also advocates the nationalization of basic industries, and said coal, auto and steel com panies should be run by publicly-elected boards with f.JU) Are you UNSURE {JfH about...

Clark favors managing inflation by controlling the money supply and he proposes a large single tax cut to increase the productivity of the private sector. Government has also been incapable of solving poverty, illiteracy and urban blight, Clark said. Clark said he believes privately sponsored programs should be initiated to solve these problems. Clark ran for governor of California in 1978 and won 5V4» percent of the popular vote. However, it is unlikely that Clark will do well in tomorrow’s election.

To achieve these aims, Kinces advocates a cut in the defense budget and end to plant closings. Libertarian candidate David K.

Students dressed in costumes ranging from Draculas to trees to mice paraded along College Avenue and watched the reactions of passers-by. However, some, students had problems with being recognized as the things they svere sup posed to be. Diana Barnes (2nd-administration of justice) and Leslie Stickler (lst-division of undergraduate studies) were dressed as tweety birds. When Stickler was asked if she thought she was a little too old to be dressed up, she said “No, this is when it all starts.” Freshmen were not the only students dressing up, as upperclassmen got into the act as well. “You get to be someone else. You don’t get blamed for the things you do. It’s like being drunk,” said . Mike Grzywacz (lOth-forest products) who dressed as a pirate Students had differing explanations for how they thought of their costumes. Scott Baker (lOth-e'nvironmental engineering), dressed as a two-headed monster, said, “I figured that two heads were better than one.” Adrian Darcy (7th-biological science) said, “I didn’t like doing physics so I Several polling places for College Township were incorrectly reported in Friday’s Daily Collegian.

The fraternity hopes to donate about $2,200 after expenses to Sttawbefry Fields, an organization aiding retarded citizens. Keiser said the lines were much better than last year and the entire operation went more smoothly.
